28 Ways a laminating machine can help you get prepared

In this video I share how easy it is to use a laminator, something you probably already knew! However, until I started pulling out those laminating sheets and scouring the house for various documents, I didn’t realize how many uses there were for that machine!

Here’s the video, which also reviews the Fellowes laminator, followed by my list of 28 things to laminate!

LOVE my laminator!!! Great for homeschooling preschoolers AND becoming a Survival Mom! Awesome!
Do you have any resources links for good printable wildlife guides? Or do you mean cutting out of actual books/purchased pamphlets?
Thank you again for another awesome resource!

I seriously just decided that each of our BOB’s needed to have their own wild edibles book/booklet and that I may have to make one myself. I thought to laminate them so that they can survive the rain. I have several wild edible books but I want to focus on a dozen or so wild edibles that are easily identifiable and found all over in our area. Winter bugging out will pose many problems not the least of which is finding wild edibles in the winter. I keep meaning to watch Dave Canterbury’s videos on useful and medicinal trees in the eastern woodland. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k5DsHQPU78&feature=share&list=PLBE878CC425E56A77

Laminators are great!
Here is another tip: If you want your documents to be truly waterproof, trim the paper a little smaller than the lamination envelope so that the hole punch holes penetrate only the plastic and not the paper.

This way, water cannot leach into the document through the paper punch holes.
